MULTIPLE PACKS

As pharmacists we must always comply explicitly with your doctors prescribed directions this includes the quantity of the prescription goods to be supplied. Therefore the only time we can supply an increased quantity of a prescribed medicine is if the doctor prescribes that quantity for you.

AUTHORITY PRESCRIPTION

Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.
Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.
Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).
Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.
But still pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has the necessary Authority code.

信息

一般信息

What ZANIDIP is used for

The name of your medicine is ZANIDIP, which is also known as lercanidipine. ZANIDIP belongs to a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers (of the dihydropyridine group).ZANIDIP lowers high blood pressure, which doctors call hypertension. It works by relaxing some of the blood vessels in the body and reducing resistance to the flow of blood through the blood vessels.Everyone has blood pressure. This pressure helps get your blood all around your body. Your blood pressure may be different at different times of the day, depending on how busy or worried you are. You have hypertension (high blood pressure) when your blood pressure stays higher than is needed, even when you are calm and relaxed.There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing that you have hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. If high blood pressure is not treated it can lead to serious health problems. You may feel fine and have no symptoms, but eventually hypertension can cause stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. ZANIDIP helps lower your blood pressure.ZANIDIP cannot be obtained without a doctor's prescription.There is no evidence that ZANIDIP is addictive.Before you take ZANIDIPWhen you must not take it

You may need different amounts of your medicine, or you may need to take different medicines.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor carefully. These directions may differ from the information contained in this leaflet.

The usual dose is one 10 mg tablet taken once daily, but may be increased to 20 mg once daily.

If you do not understand the instructions on the box, ask your doctor or pharmacist for help.

How to take it

Swallow ZANIDIP whole with a glass of water.

When to take it

Take ZANIDIP at about the same time each day, at least 15 minutes before a meal. ZANIDIP will have the best effect if it is taken at the same time each day at least 15 minutes before meals. This will also help you remember when to take the tablets.

How long to take it

ZANIDIP helps control your condition, but does not cure it. Therefore you must take ZANIDIP every day. Continue taking the tablets for as long as your doctor tells you to.If you forget to take it

If you forget to take a dose but remember within 12 hours from when the dose was due, take it straight away, then continue as normal the next day. Otherwise skip that day's dose but be sure to take the next day's dose when it is due. If you are not sure about what to do, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose that you missed. If you have trouble remembering to take your tablets, ask your pharmacist for some hints.

If you have missed several doses, consult your doctor.

If you take too much (overdose)

Immediately telephone your doctor or Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26), or go to Accident & Emergency at your nearest hospital, if you think that you or anyone else may have taken too much ZANIDIP. Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning. You may need urgent medical attention. Keep telephone numbers of these places/services handy.

If you take too much ZANIDIP it may cause your blood pressure to become too low and you may feel your heart beats become irregular and faster. It may also lead to unconsciousness.

While you are using ZANIDIP

Things you must do

Use ZANIDIP exactly as your doctor has prescribed. If you do not follow your doctor's instructions correctly, your blood pressure may not be controlled.

Be sure to keep all of your doctor's appointments so that your progress can be checked.

If you become pregnant while you are taking ZANIDIP, tell your doctor.

If you are about to start taking any new medicine, tell your doctor and pharmacist that you are taking ZANIDIP.

Tell all other doctors, dentists and pharmacists who are treating you that you are taking ZANIDIP.

If you have an operation, tell the anaesthetist that you are taking this medicine.

Things you must not do

Do not give ZANIDIP to anyone else, even if they have the same condition as you.

Do not use ZANIDIP to treat any other complaints unless your doctor tells you to.

Things to be careful of

Be careful driving or operating machinery until you know how ZANIDIP affects you. ZANIDIP generally does not cause any problems with your ability to drive a car or operate machinery. However, as with other medicines used to treat high blood pressure, a few people may feel dizzy, light-headed or faint, especially when first taking ZANIDIP or when starting to take a different amount of medicine. Your doctor may also ask you to limit or stop your alcohol intake while taking medicines to control your blood pressure, such as ZANIDIP, as alcohol may increase these effects.

If you feel light-headed, dizzy or faint when getting out of bed or standing up, get up slowly.

As with some medicines used to treat high blood pressure such as ZANIDIP, you should avoid drinking grapefruit juice as grapefruit juice may increase the effects of these medicines.

Side Effects

Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking ZANIDIP. ZANIDIP helps most people with high blood pressure, but it may have unwanted side effects in a few people. All medicines can have side effects.

Possible side effects include:

flushingswelling of the ankles, feet or lower legsheadachedizzinessgastrointestinal disturbances such as heartburn, nausea, epigastric pain or diarrhoeafatigue or sleepiness

Tell your doctor immediately or go to Accident & Emergency at your nearest hospital if you notice any of the following:

angina (chest pain or tightness)increased heart beatsigns of allergy such as rash, itching or hives on the skin

These side effects are usually rare but may be serious and need urgent medical attention.Do not be alarmed by this list of possible side effects. You may not experience any of them.After using ZANIDIPStorage
